Profile:

One three school-boys from St Anthony's College who played in the same team and then went on to represent Sri Lanka. Wijetunge, a left arm orthodox slow bowler, formed a menacing partnership with off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, as they terrorised batsman from other schools. The other member of the trio was Ruwan Kalpage. Unlike his fellow teammates Wijetunge did not go on to have a distinguished international career playing in only one Test. In a memorable personal moment Wijetunge made his Test debut alongside his former schoolboy teammates. Joining Kalpage and Muralitharan against the South Africans at Moratuwa he bowled tidily taking two wickets. However, they could not bowl Sri Lanka to victory on the final day as they did many times at school as a defiant century from Jonty Rhodes held them at bay. (Johann P Jayasekera , Sep 1999)
